professional accreditation The BAcc is fully accredited and recognised for exemption purposes by all the leading accountancy bodies in the UK and Ireland (ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA, ICAEW, ICAS and ICAI).
At Dundee, we aim to help you develop the skills and techniques that employers consider vital for entry into a variety of rewarding careers in accounting.
The BAcc focuses on reporting practices in the UK and Ireland. It allows you to have a better understanding of accounting practices, regulations and standards in an increasingly globalised accounting and reporting environment.
Throughout your BAcc (Bachelor of Accountancy) studies, we want you to understand the power and limitations of accountancy and financial techniques and how they can help society to function.
Our staff are committed to providing a stimulating, supportive and friendly environment for our students. This commitment was recognised by the latest National Student Survey (2010) in which 94% of accountancy students said they were satisfied with the quality of their teaching.
Guest lectures are often given by experienced accounting and finance practitioners and outside visits are also organised to help you appreciate the ‘real world’ application of the discipline. Students may also spend a year of their degree in North America on the Transatlantic Exchange Scheme or a semester in Australia or Hong Kong.
employability
The BAcc can enhance your employability by developing your numeracy and analytical abilities, computing expertise and your interpersonal and communication skills. Our accountancy degrees are therefore designed to prepare you for either a career as an accountant or for the wide variety of other careers that benefit from a business education.
Your career is important to us and the professional relevance and accreditation of the BAcc degree is kept under careful review. We liaise with employers to ensure that the BAcc continues to meet the needs of the graduate employment market. About two thirds of our graduates go on to professional accountancy training while the rest embark on the huge range of other careers that are open to accountancy graduates.
Our graduates are to be found working all over the world in a variety of interesting and challenging jobs. In the accounting profession many work with large international accounting firms (the ‘Big Four’), or with smaller firms in Scotland and throughout the UK. Many work for other commercial organisations including financial institutions, manufacturing companies, and in the public sector.
